Up, Up & Away - Just My Type

Hi ladies and thanks for flying by today (bad pun alert).  It's day 4 of MFT Teaser Time and I have been having a very fun, shabby chic kinda time.  Nothing like a trip to the LSS for some new "shabby" supplies to get me in the mood for stamping.  I have to tell you, this was a step "out of the box" for me, but I REALLY had fun.  :)

Up first, I am going to show you my chipboard embellishment and puffy cloud adorned card using the soon-to-be-released Inspired by Up, Up & Away stamp set.  LOVE it.  SO not my norm, but SO fun nonetheless!


I stamped the hot air balloons on patterned paper and then cut them out.  The sentiment is from the set.  I created a simple sentiment "banner" and then laid it across the hot air balloons.


I'm REALLY excited about my puffy cloud.  Once I set my mind to something, it's GOING to happen.  LOL  I die-cut 2 felt clouds using the Cloud Trio Die-namics.  I *thought* I had a bag of pillow stuffing somewhere, but then I remembered I had gotten rid of it, because let's face it... I am NOT a seamstress.  But, as I said, I was desperate and I wasn't about to jump in the car... but then I remember I had a pillow that had a ripped seam (sad but true), so I asked my daughter to go grab me a handful of stuffing.  LOL A couple machine stitches later and my puffy cloud was born.  I am definitely going to have to try that again.  I can see it now... in six months I will have an empty throw pillow case laying on my couch. LMAO  :)


I love the new(ish) Pink Paislee patterned paper and embellishments I used.  They are very shabby and cool.  It's nice to stretch your creative self every now and then.  LOL



I finished off the inside with a strip of patterned paper that was "meant to be" for this stamp set and a beautiful quote included in the stamp set.



This card makes me all sorts of giddy.  I just LOVED playing with the new Just My Type stamp set and Die-namics die.  This typewriter is gorgeous and it really takes center stage on a card!  There is a coordinating Die-namics die that die-cuts the typewriter and the genius addition of a piece of "fancy" paper to pop out of the typewriter.  The set includes a boatload of sentiments to add to the paper.  This set just makes me happy.  LOL


I threw a couple elements in from the Own Your Story stamp set also.  They work super well together. I used some Glimmer Mist on the Prima flowers.



Surprise, the flap lifts to reveal a stamped message:

you're not old... you're vintage


Then you open the card normally and there is the final message:

happy birthday

Do you not have a million people you could make this card for?  LOL  SO cute!
